Going Out With a Bang!

Happy December, lovely readers! I can't believe it's the last month of the year already. Where has the time gone?

The year's not over yet, but I'm starting my celebration early. Why? 'Cause 2015 has been such a success!

I don't have any final, definite numbers, but Home Ice Advantage, my book released as part of the Seduced by the Game collection, has already raised well over $500 for cancer research and patient care. And that donation amount will only continue to swell through the next 11 months as readers continue to one-click!

But 2015 isn't over yet, not even close! And I'm determined to keep writing through the holiday season. I'm hoping to have the next Dallas Comets book out in early 2016. It's entitled BREAKOUT PLAY. Let me whet your appetite and share the blurb with you:

He’s mastered the breakout play on the ice. She’s still trying to break out of her shell. 
When Adam first lays eyes on Ally in the dark, country-themed bar, he immediately knows that he’s going to take innocent-looking beauty home for the night. When she resists his charms and cheesy one-liners, he becomes even more determined to win her over. 
After all, Adam Harris didn’t make it onto the Dallas Comets’ roster without hearing the word “no.” No one believed he’d get drafted or play a game in the NHL, but he proved his critics all wrong. He knows that he’s got to capitalize on his scoring chances because they don’t come around very often. 
Allison Forrester isn’t as naïve as Adam thinks she is. She moved to Dallas looking for a new beginning, and she doesn’t want to mess up her hard work by having a one-night fling with some wannabe hotshot hockey player—no matter how attractive he may be. However, Adam has never accepted “no” as an answer, and he plans to keep asking Ally out until she finally says “yes.” 
If they can set aside their differences for a night, maybe they can both break out of their ruts—and realize they have more in common than they thought.
Adam has made appearances in both "A Valuable Trade" and Home Ice Advantage. I'm so excited to tell his story next, and I hope you'll be excited to read it!



I'm going to start a new little feature on my blog posts and on my Facebook page, so you can all see what events I'll be attending or dropping by for the coming month.

Hottie Hockey Hunks Blog Hop—GIVEAWAY!

Good morning, and happy hockey! Today is officially the start of the 2013-14 NHL season, and I for one couldn't be happier. Well, I'll be happier on Thursday when the Penguins play the Devils for the season opener, but I suppose I'm just being picky. Anyway. Have you ever heard of a blog hop? I hadn't—until I was invited to join one! So let me explain: bloggers with common interests unite to promote each other. So below, I have a link of seven other hockey romance writers you might be interested in. If you're familiar with me, then you've probably heard of Melanie Ting—a fellow writer who got her start in Blogger. But you should check out these other ladies and maybe find some new authors to enjoy! As a part of the Hottie Hockey Hunks Blog Hop , I'm sponsoring a giveaway (cue flashing lights! Cue trumpets!). I've decided to give a free copy of my new novel, Shots on Net , to one lucky reader who comments on this post! Please leave your e-mail addre

Interview with Melanie Ting

Today I'm very happy to plug a fellow writer —and friend— Melanie Ting . She's authored some of my favorite hockey stories, including Fresh Air and How the Cookie Crumbles . Mel's climbing up the Amazon sales charts; if you haven't read her work yet, do yourself a favor and check her out! Mel took the time to talk to me about her writing and latest novel, her love of hockey, and of course, cats: What motivates you as a writer? What inspires you? I would say that real life inspires me. I love hearing the stories behind the athletes. When you read about a hockey player who struggled for years, undrafted and unwanted, before he made it to the NHL, that’s inspiring. Or if he’s just hot, well that’s inspiring in a different way. I also use things that happen to me in real life, as well as real people. In fact, if some of my friends read my novels, they’d probably kill me … slowly. But luckily, nobody I know likes hockey romances.

In the Top 100!

Thanks to everyone who's purchased a copy of Shots on Net during this first week of publication. As of today, Shots on Net broke into the Top 100 of sports genre fiction on Amazon. I'm mixed in with the likes of Stephen King and James Patterson, which is pretty awesome if you ask me!
